Here are my feelings on it. Last season we were scorching teams from beyond the arc and were good for like 5th or 6th in the league for 3 pointers. Now teams are honing in on that and trying to take that away to beat us. Jimmy is now countering that and attacking the paint relentlessly.

If Jimmy continues this trend and we keep winning teams may need to start considering playing us differently and could lead to a resurgence from some of our shooters. Would be good to add another player who can create his own shot to alleviate Butler but until we do this is how Jimmy needs to play for us to win unless teams change the way they are currently guarding us.

Kelly played so good. I think at this point he is a better defender then Aldridge. Would be nice if we can get him without trading Kelly. Good win. JIMMY FREAKING BUTLER. THANK U

Kelly is a better overall player then LMA in 2021, that was clear to anyone paying attention.

That's why trading for LMA never made sense, we can't give up kelly or iggy. Both are very needed.

Hope he gets bought out.

We definitely are. It's awesome when everything works in our favor, but it shouldn't be this hard for him. Like, will we be getting more from Duncan and Dragic in the next game? I sure hope so!


Yimmy definitely needs help. Not getting past second round if Heat keep this squad.

Herro, Nunn, and DRob are at their ceiling in terms of what they can contribute to the team.

Dragic is in the twilight of his last good playing days.

Bam is not showing any progress from last season.

And KO is wildly inconsistent.

There really isn’t anyone else on the team that can step up to win the team a game. The Heat need more.

I think you are definitely right , but the reality is we missed our window ... But I trust Riley and that sooner or later he gets in ... he does it more often than the others... bsides herro and Bam are still considered a maybe great, they each deserve a two or three year honeymoon period... enough time for jimmy to start doing the limbo

but what I meant is that we call Jimmy the bomb too often, when he's not even top 10 in the NBA

Return to Miami Heat
